No Job, No Money Chapter 20
Harry turned five this year, and we moved to a bigger apartment. Uncle Patrick came for a checkup, so I brought him and Aunt Eliza to an upscale hotel for a meal.I saw two homeless men fighting on the street in the distance."You're showing your butt, Gregory! Something red is coming out!"I turned around when I heard a familiar name. The scene I saw came as a shock.The homeless man really was the Gregory I knew. He had something like a bedsheet wrapped around him, but half his butt was showing. There was something trickling down his legs, and he held a bottle tightly. "I have to give this to Jess. Jess!"When one of the hotel's staff saw me staring, they came out to explain the situation. "That man has quite the sob story. He borrowed a lot of money from loan sharks to help his sister pay off her debt. When he couldn't repay the loan sharks, he ended up becoming a gigolo."Once, he came to this hotel with a patron. It seems the patron did something to him and made him faint. A

Holly suddenly burst into tears. "Poor Uncle Greg got taken away by a lot of men! It was so scary!"Jessica looked ashen. She finally broke down and cried, "Those loan sharks are monsters! The interest they charged was sky-high, so they took every dime we had. Greg went to borrow some more money so that Holly wouldn't go hungry, but they wanted him to sell himself…"I didn't pity him. How one's life turned out depended on the choices one made.Jessica tried to plead with me again. "We're family, Sasha. Please help us and lend us some money. Please!""Can't you go to work? It's not like you're disabled."She looked aggrieved. "Working is so tiring, and I didn't even graduate from college. I can't compare to a master's student like you. You can easily earn tens of thousands of dollars, but I can only make a few thousand dollars despite doing my best. Please, Sasha!"She wanted her cake and to eat it, too. She was now incapable of doing anything after being spoiled rotten.I turned

Gregory looked haggard. He suddenly said, "I'm sorry, Sasha."He had much to be sorry for, but I didn't need a belated apology. The nine years I'd spent on him came to an end on that day.I was afraid the Chance family would try to take my house away from me again, so I immediately put it up for sale. It was located in a new neighborhood, so it went for a high price.I bought a smaller apartment near my company—it was just perfect for Harry and me. I hired a live-in nanny to care for him, and Aunt Eliza occasionally dropped by to help.I went back to work in the second half of the year and got busy. Now that I no longer had to spend my money on the Chance family, I could put most of it aside in savings.Things were getting better. I didn't need to rely on anyone, so each step I took was firm and resolute.…One day, after a year-end celebration, I'd just left the venue when someone wrapped their hands around my leg."Give me money, Aunt Sasha!"I didn't expect to see Holly and

Gregory didn't have much energy to snap back at me. He'd just received another text asking him whether he was interested in pimping himself out. He didn't know why, but he kept receiving such messages recently. Some of them even offered rather high prices.He decided to give in. "Look, Sasha. Seeing as we're married, I'll be honest with you. I can't bear the burden of paying back your debt with you."Of course he couldn't. He had to help Jessica pay off hers.I couldn't stop myself from asking, "Are you still going to help your sister pay off her debt when you're barely surviving?"He sighed. "She's my sister. When I was a kid, she—""Stop!" I didn't want to listen to his nonsense. All I wanted to do was to get away from this family of bloodsuckers. "Tell her to give me a million dollars—I'll disappear once she does so, and we'll never have anything to do with each other.""She doesn't have that much money," Gregory said."Fine, then. We can all die together. It's pretty roman

Gregory cursed at me.A week passed, and there were three days left until he was due to repay the debt. He finally sent me a location and asked me to have a proper discussion with him.I went alone to see Gregory and Clara already sitting there. They looked like they'd aged a decade, especially Gregory. I'd always been the one serving and caring for him, so he would look spirited even after staying up all night gaming. Now, he looked a lot more fatigued."Have you sold the house?" Gregory asked. He was still coveting it.I shook my head. "How do you expect me to sell it when the debtors are watching? They've made it clear that they're going to kill us if we can't pay them back on the due date."I'd already told him this earlier that morning. He took a deep drag of his cigarette, looking haggard. "What will it take for you to agree to a divorce?""Tell your sister to pay me back. We can have a clean break after that."Clara was the first to object. "We're all family here. It so

Clara was about to explode. "Don't fall for her lies, Greg! Sasha doesn't have a penny to her name now, and her reputation has been tarnished. All she has is debt! Don't tell me you don't want to divorce her so you can suffer with her and face her debtors!"Gregory frowned. Suddenly, I jolted and said to Clara, "I have a way to handle the debt! Jessica kept borrowing money from us in the past, right? That means the house she built in town is partially ours! We can tell her to sell that off and repay us. That's where we'll get the money!"Gregory didn't like the sound of that. He pointed at me, looking fierce. "How can you ask Jessica to sell her house? Since we lent her the money, we need to wait until she's ready to repay us. We can't chase her for it!"I shook my head. "That's supposed to be my money, and I need it back to repay my debts and survive. She's taken at least a few hundred thousand dollars from me. I don't see why I can't ask her to pay me back."This infuriated Grego
